How I beat the homeschool blues

First get out your cutest coffee mug! If you don’t have one…I just happened to have listed some in my etsy shop.

Need:

coffee

sugar

hershey’s chocolate syrup

REAL half & half or whipping cream

whipped cream

milk frother or your handy dandy whisk

Make coffee…decaf or caf…your call. Put a heaping spoon of sugar in mug, fill mug almost 1/4 the way with cream. Add some hershey’s chocolate syrup. Put in the microwave for about 30 sec. to warm up the cream. Froth with your milk frother OR put your whisk in your cup…hold it between both hands and go back and forth until your milk is frothed. Make sense? Pour coffee. Stir with spoon and top with whipped cream. Enjoy!

Then go frolic in the sun with your kids.

Take pictures of lizards, turtles, mallards and tree info and call it a nature walk.

Thanks for the homeschooling encouragement! A few weeks ago I was feeling burned out. Now that spring is almost here, I’m feeling much more optimistic. Funny how a little sunshine can make all the difference!

You know what’s funny?…(and maybe a little creepy too.) Every morning when I pick out a coffee mug I think of you. (probably because you tend to hold coffee mugs in your apron pictures) Some of the mugs were given to me by dear friends IRL, but no, I think of YOU.

I was happy to discover your Pink and Polka Dot blog today. I was unable to find a contact link or profile page in your blog. I hope it’s OK that I’m contacting you through a public comment. I’ve developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child’s spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists. I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Pink and Polka Dot. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There’s a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. I’d be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.Thank you very much!Dan HiteTedCo SoftwareDan@SpellQuizzer.com
